Gdaybruce Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 And in a small piece of good news... I've just received an email from Admiral, with whom I have a multi car policy, to say that since they are experiencing fewer claims during this lock down they are refunding £25 per insured vehicle. So that means an unexpected bonus of £75, which is nice! Be interesting to see if all insurers are doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I wonder if SAGA will be doing the same............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I went with Elephant for the Porsche insurance yesterday and they dropped the price by £20 due to less claims. Found Locktons and LV (existing multi car) way too expensive for a car that does circa 5k miles a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detail1 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Got my email from them this morning, nice £50 coming my way. Makes me think my premium will go up though come renewal. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano37 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Got mine too, £25. That will nearly pay for a full tank of fuel they way the price of petrol is dropping 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbox Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I'm with Admiral, with a four car multi so should get a £100 back . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . my renewal is in May I wonder what that will be? I suspect i will be back to single car quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Laming Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Yep, I'm with Elephant for two of my cars, should get £50 refunded. Lockton havnt mentioned anything (yet) re the Boxster. It's been safely tucked up in the garage since 7th February (the last track day I did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Loon Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 My girlfriend is an A&E Nurse with the NHS and has her car insurance with Admiral... she does not get the £25 refund, but they thanked her for her service and said in the event she has an at fault crash, they will waive her excess instead.

It says: Am I still eligible if I still need to use my car or van? Yes - the refund has been calculated based on the lower driving frequency we’re seeing, so all policyholders are eligible, including those who still need their vehicle.

RickLS7 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Have a multi car policy with Admiral so that's £50, feeling a bit left out though as not received an email yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I received the email at the weekend and thought it might be a personalised email as the deadline date of 20th April was also my renewal date. I did receive the usual overinflated quote which after a quick phone call was reduced by £230. So £900 for three cars and the house for a year. The Boxster was the most expensive this year for a change but I think my little indiscretion might be the cause of that. Still £75 to look forward to for the end of May.

If that is true, there should be an outcry from the whole country. I'm not an Admiral customer, but if I was I'd be cancelling my insurance with them like a shot, just on principle. An absolute disgrace, given what the NHS workers have been through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMacdonald Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Do you have a link to the section that says NHS workers aren't eligible? I've found the bit where NHS workers don't have to pay excess in the event of an accident but it seems very definite that everyone gets the refund.

Ok, So the original info about the excess waiver was on a text she got the other day with a link to a specific page. Other people got the £25 text but she didnt.... She has received an email today saying "all of our customers will get the £25" so we will see. I will update when clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current climate, not giving NHS workers the same refund as anyone else would be a catastrophic PR disaster for Admiral, so I can't imagine that is going to happen.
